The Beach Bum Baker

My past and present… a constant evolution.

In 2011, a naturopath identified that I was gluten intolerant. I spent a decade “healing my gut” (aka learning about and removing trigger foods and caring my personal gut health with intention and education). In 2024, my healthcare provider ordered blood tests that showed that I’d cured myself! I have zero food intolerances that can be identified via blood testing! (That’s crazy to me, but very cool!)

How can I help YOU on your food journey? I am not a dietician nor am I a nutritionist. I’m just someone who’s fought the same battles in a similar war to yours, then developed two businesses and wrote a small cookbook…. maybe *my* life experiences can help you navigate yours?

Let’s collaborate to step towards health!

The gluten-free baking all began in 2011. My first professional bakery was born in 2016 – Free Food Georgia. In 2018, it transformed into a physical location (The Green Spork) outside Savannah. We sold it in 2021 after buying a home on St Simons Island in 2020 (relocating for the husband’s job). After several months of rest and planning…. I started baking again and launched The Beach Bum Baker, a small, gluten-free cottage food bakery!

In 2023 the adventures continued with shuttering the bakery and halting expansion, relocating back up to Savannah (to facilitate the husband’s career pivot… again!) and publishing a cookbook. Now in 2026 I’m re-launching my reflexology practice, seeking a book publisher for my completed manuscript and preparing for re-launching my coaching business in 2027!
